Memory Deal Bolsters Xbox 2 HD Removal Rumors

Posted by simoniker on from the a-place-for-my-stuff dept.

friedknut writes "According to a CNET News article: 'Flash memory maker M-Systems announced on Wednesday that it has signed a contract to provide storage products for future versions of the Xbox, bolstering speculation that Microsoft may ditch the game console's hard drive', since the flash-based memory devices will 'be of significantly higher capacity than the 8MB Xbox memory units Microsoft currently sells to save game and user data.' But of course, Microsoft representatives declined to comment on the company's plan for next-generation Xbox hardware."

    Human beings fall into four basic categories: the helpless, the intelligent, the bandit and the stupid

    A search lead me to this page, The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity.

    It's quite funny and interesting, although I'm not through reading it (it's 4 in the morning and I'm having a bit of trouble focusing on anything)...

    But from what I've read, I'd be tempted to mod your sig as "insightful".

    Levee's going to break.
    When the levee breaks,
    I have no place to stay.
    Mean old levee taught me
    to weep and moan.
    It's got what it takes
    to make a mountain man leave his home.

    If you think "M$" is funny, you probably don't have any friends. There's also a high likelihood that you're overweight.

    Dear Moderator who downmodded the above post:

    If someone puts "OT" or "Off Topic" in the subject line, there is no need to moderate them down, because it is already clear to those reading in threaded mode that the post is offtopic. It just gives someone a karma hit who is doing the right thing by flagging an offtopic post themselves.

      Haha, they moderated you "off topic" too.

      We have such sharp moderators.
